As you can see by my Apple Watch, I’ve been very consistent with my workout and move rings, closing all of them 6 out of 7 days a week for a while now, often going way over my goals (hence how much past the 12 o’clock point of each ring).
The good news is I’ve lost 3lbs! The bad news is… I wish it was more. Funny thing is that 10 years ago I would lose weight so easily, but now that I’m older, my body hangs onto it more and it takes more work to lose the weight. But the sun is shining and I’m feeling great and determined to make it work! Plus that elliptical is kicking my butt. Every time I get off it, I’m drenched in sweat! 😂
I really hit the workouts hard this week and got two Perfect Week awards on the Apple Watch (Move and Exercise). I have to say that the Apple Watch is pretty incredible at motivating you to work out as well as rewarding you for when you put in the extra work.
You can see a couple days I got in two works out (Thursday and Saturday). Both of those days I did the elliptical and took a long walk. Probably because it was beautiful outside this week here in Seattle!
As for my weight, it’s stayed pretty much the same even though I’ve noticed my gut is down slightly. Like last week, I think that’s because I have been working out so much and building a little muscle…
Last week I flew back from my trip to Arizona and then got my 2nd Pfizer vaccine shot. Rebecca was fine from her shot, but I got knocked out for several days! Man… chills, aches, fever, headache, fatigue. It wasn’t messing around, but I’m so glad to now be finally fully vaccinated and ready to see my friends again!
You’ll see from the Apple Watch stats that despite all the days knocked down, I did manage to work out both on the elliptical and my bike! Weather is really starting to improve here in Seattle, so doing both should start making a difference in my overall health.
We got the elliptical cross trainer installed and put together on Weds and I have to admit, it’s kicking my butt! 30 minutes on it and I come off dripping in sweat 😅. As you can see by my watch, I’ve hit my workout goals 6/7 days and pretty much stayed the same weight. Like others have said, it’s probably because I’ve lost a little weight, but I’ve added a little muscle working out so much.
I plan on hitting the workouts even harder this week and maybe try to eat a few more salads.
